3.3.11

• Fixed a bug where mocking New-Object would cause a stack overflow. [GH-405]

3.3.10

• Fully qualified calls to Get-Content within Mocking code, to avoid triggering client's mocked versions of that command. [GH-362]
• Fixed a scoping error when calling the original command if no parameter filters match the call. [GH-362]

3.3.8

3.3.7

Minor fixes to Mocking:

• Mocking AD cmdlets was producing errors due to how their Dynamic Parameters are returned. This has been fixed.
